Our most important requirement is the new head coach so that he can make use of what little time we have to assess the situation and act accordingly. This will not be easy task and I do not envy the person who is tasked with doing this.
    Pretty much agree with all that Leics👍

    I don?t for one minute think it?s doom and gloom, it?s seeing things as they are, the first X1 apart the rest of the squad are awful and we suffer when they are needed, hopefully the new manager will have some funds to rectify this, what upsets my self and probably AL is the rose coloured glasses syndrome when the problems are all there to be seen

    Couldn?t agree more. Everyone does see things differently and that?s fine. For one poster to say we were a match for Bournemouth in the first half and for those who didn?t see this must be on drugs is highly personal and offensive.

    1. We were a match until the first goal and Bournemouth sliced through us like a knife through butter in second gear.

    2. I personally hate drugs with a vengeance and drug dealers so to suggest someone of a differing view is on drugs should apologise. Disgusting comment!

    I don?t think anyone disagrees the bench is crap. But the nonsense ?sack the manager? rhetoric that comes out whenever we lose or some of those players get a runout is the idiotic part. The hysteria the other day because Wallace got a runout?(and played quite well)

    If you think in modern football that you can have one team of 11 and that?s all you will use. No subs, no rotation and you can expect no injuries and for that 11 to then maintain that performance all season, you must have the rose coloured glasses on.

    I wonder how many games Wicky has before the ?Wicky Out? thread has started?

    But that?s your view Matt but differing views are all over social media and at the matches themselves. I have differing views over CC to my son who also goes to the matches.

    To say someone is on drugs on didn?t agree that we matched Bournemouth in the first half is a shocking and offensive comment. Personal too as I hate drugs in any format.

    I have said I would love to see Mowbray back and liked Bilic so clearly they floated my boat. That said some others may think differently.

    My view on Wicky?s CV is it?s decent - to say it?s not impressive is quite uneducated. Not impressive to Pepe or Klopp - perhaps but how can it not be impressive to say CC?s in comparison? Views are views but facts are facts!

    Agree. We are not a top six side. To be absolutely honest, to be where we are after reign of Lai, is amazing, particularly if you welcomed Lai with open arms and thought he was the man to lead take us forward to footballing riches.

    What do some know!

    Let’s see if Wicky actually gets the job! Al mentioned Mowbray, not a bad call if his health is ok. Also, I wouldn’t mind Derek McInnes, I know that he hasn’t exactly set the managerial world on fire but I feel that his attitude is just what some of our players need. Sometimes, the most unlikely appointment turns out to be rather good!

    I agree. Dont know whos got the rose coloured spectacles though even though thats been thrown at me a few times for being reasonable about human expectations. If I was travelling back on the team bus Id be going around the players building them up and getting them to believe in themselves. If some on here were going back on the team bus wed have some players buying a rope and looking for a gantry.

    Have you looked on social media at the comments? Have you been to matches where many have differing opinions like this board?

    Are they all on drugs as you put it - shocking comment from you and personal too as drugs are a touchy subject with many.

    Yes. One post had dozens of our fans asking for abella to be our new manager. I suppose you agree then? Or are they just not the comments you align yourself with?
